News: Teddy Makadi (@seemakadi) unveils new visuals for his single "Misala"
Teddy Makadi just released the official music video for "Misala," and it's nothing short of captivating. The visuals bring together the soulful Lulu and the dynamic Mathumela Band, delivering a performance that blends emotion, energy, and Malawian music flair.
"Misala" comes from his second album, With Love, Makadi, released under Newwave Group, and you can hear how much Teddy's grown. He's got this unique knack for writing songs that feel deeply personal, but somehow, they hit home for just about anyone.
The word "Misala" means "craziness," and it really nails what love feels like - messy, unpredictable, sometimes wild. The track swings through longing, vulnerability, a bit of soul-searching, and that tricky business of figuring yourself out. Teddy's voice drives the whole thing, Lulu's harmonies slip in and make it richer, and Mathumela Band gives it that fresh, live feel. The result? The song feels both close and big at the same time - classic Malawian roots, but with a modern twist.
The video, directed by Seany Films and produced by EkBeatsMaster, doesn't just show the song; it lives it. The camera gets up close and personal, the performances are electric, and every shot pulls you deeper into the story. There’s no flashy nonsense or over-the-top effects, just raw, honest emotion, which is exactly what Teddy’s about.
Fans who've been following Teddy's journey know how much "Misala" matters. From his gospel rap days with BBM Clique to solo tracks like "Chulu," Teddy keeps changing things up - stronger lyrics, more emotion, new sounds. Every release tells a new part of his story, and "Misala" stands out as both vulnerable and catchy.
With Love, Makadi, the album, is Teddy's boldest move so far. It blends gospel, R&B, and sharp urban vibes, digging into love and life in ways that feel real and relatable. Bringing Lulu and Mathumela Band under the Newwave umbrella highlights Malawi's thriving music scene, where traditional and modern styles converge to create something entirely new.
"Misala" isn't just a song; it's an experience. Teddy, Lulu, and Mathumela Band deliver a piece that lingers long after the last note, mixing soul, story, and pure Malawian artistry.
